Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck!” Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chuck’s life, seems to be approaching its end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold in three acts, presented in reverse order,  The Life of Chuck  explores one man’s past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In these pages King reminds us that life’s quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. King’s ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People’s Choice Award,  The Life of Chuck  is a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54359933616496,"sku":"A4136","price":9.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_3203_640be9ea0b.jpg?v=1790158179","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/products\/the-life-of-chuck","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
